XBMC for Linux running on Xen Virtual Machine?
#1
Hey,
I am using Debian 5.5 Lenny to create virtual machines with Xen 3.2.
On one of the Virtual Machines, I have installed XBMC from the sources and no error occurs during the configuration/compilation/installation.
When I am trying to start it by the command line, I get this output:
Code:
Cannot get root display. Is X11 running and is your DISPLAY variable set?
CRITSEC [8x8bffa04]: Trying to enter destroyed section
CRITSEC [8x8bffa04]: Trying to leave destroyed section
The DISPLAY variable is set to :0.0, so I guess the problem comes from the fact that X11 is not running directly in the Virtual Machine (ps -ejH does not return anything linked to X11). I get the grphic interface through VNC.
Can anyone tell me if my configuration let a possibility to XBMC to run, and how to make it run in this case, or should I give up with the idea of running XBMC in a Virtual Machine?
Thanks a lot for your help!

EDIT:
I have seen someone with the same issue, it has been solved by running xbmc without being root, but this does not work for me. Being super user or user does not change anything :-S
and the command X -version returns
Code:
X.Org X Server 1.4.2
blabla
X protocol version 11, Revision0
